Curt "Doodle" Hickox joined the Lodge just shy of a year ago, but he’s already making a big impact on our team! In his role in security, he is the first face of Flat Creek that guests encounter as they check in after hours. He also has the opportunity to share his passion for hunting and fishing as he helps in the area of outfitting.

He recommends the steak paired with the mushrooms grown here at the Lodge for a satisfying dining experience after a full day’s hunt. When he’s not enjoying the great outdoors, you’ll find him spending time with his fiancée. Says Hickox, “I feel really fortunate to be able to work at something I love and with the people of Flat Creek Lodge.”

Wine. Cheese. What else do we need? You, of course! Save the date for our Wine & Cheese Dinner on September 24, 2011.  This memorable event features our award winning cheese and our gourmet dining! Click the menu below to download the menu and call us at 877-352-8273 to reserve now.
